I like to run far, but not that fast! I also want to be Mary Berry when I grow up

@MartinSLewis I got a £1 in my stocking at christmas, then was in a charity bookshop between christmas and new year and saw a book by the lovely Jenny Colgan I had been looking for. For £1. So i counted it as an extra christmas present.

@Matineegirl Such a lovely island - and this wee book nook was an unexpected delight. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

@AmyClukey This is just stunning. 😍

@BexBookaholic Miss Pettigrew lives for a day from @PersephoneBooks is a wonder. I re-read it when I need a good pickmeup.

@BexBookaholic See also bookshop/craft store - so runs knitting, sewing and art classes. 6months would be stretching it to personal bankruptcy for me. 🤣
